Speed Racer

Snake Oiler is a recurring antagonist in the classic anime and manga series Speed Racer. He is primarily depicted as a ruthless and unscrupulous race car driver who will stop at nothing to win, often resorting to cheating, sabotage, and violence.

Oiler is easily recognizable by his distinctive appearance: a tall, slender man with a sinister grin, often seen wearing a racing suit emblazoned with a snake emblem. His vehicles vary throughout the series, but are typically modified to perform illegal and dangerous maneuvers, reflecting his disregard for racing rules and the safety of other drivers.

Throughout the series, Snake Oiler is a persistent rival to Speed Racer, consistently attempting to defeat him through underhanded tactics. While not always successful, his actions frequently endanger Speed and other racers, adding a layer of suspense and villainy to the races. He's a classic example of the underhanded villain in the racing world.
